Turkey - fave country ever, but I spent 3 weeks and saw a good bit of it. I loved the towns on the coast, Cappadocia, Ephesus
Costa Rica - I love nature and animals so this is really my jam.

- will definitely look into Guadeloupe!


Jetblue from NY flies there, and there are also flights from Miami on air france I think. We stayed at this simple aparthotel a one minute walk from this amazing beach (Le Petit Havre). Its this tiny protected cove with lots of trees for shade, and a food truck or two outside. Then in the evening we would drive to other beaches/dinner. Glorious.

Isn't this the location for the TV series "Death in Paradise"?

We also visited Guadeloupe when Norwegian used to fly there from BWI. I still follow Deshaies gardens on facebook.

People also like Martinique.


I liked Deshais too, but when we were trying to plan another trip to Guadeloupe, DH and I both agreed we would want to just camp out on our little secluded beach Le Petit Havre. We also went to Martinique and it was lovely. But not the place we couldn't wait to go back to. Man I wish Norwegian would add those BWI flights again!

Hey OP,I don’t know if you’re just making tons of typos but many of your responses are basically incomprehensible.

I too was enchanted by Luxembourg. The soaring hills and valleys, the casemates. Loved it.

Tokyo. OMG. The fun city. They have EVERYTHING. Like 11 cat islands, every animal cafe you can imagine incl a fox village.

Costa Rica. St. Lucia is a fun island because you can do more than just beach there. PR is like that as well.

In Europe - N France - through Normandy, Mont St. Michel, less Paris but go N and S through the countryside incl Aix.

I actually think there's a lot of offering in the States I have to say - and I've been to Bora Bora, W Europe, Asia, etc. I think our national parks are amazing out west. More west coast resorts that are based around them are more interesting than the E coast ones. I think it's less the country and more specific places that you can tap into that community to enjoy beats going to a famous destination. Our experience have really been highlighted by our accommodations and the people who we meet where we are based in if that makes sense? I tell you as someone who has done a lot of major cities - they are all similar in characteristics and offerings - museums, etc. It's specific cultural experiences you are able to find that makes that destination truly unique.

I don't know - every place has it's amazingness you know?

For me watching the Air show on N Ave Beach in Chicago in Aug is one of my fave memories along with Bora Bora Sheraton which let me tell you I never stayed in Sheratons but that one - OMG.

The hike in Jackson we took when we saw a family of deer is just as amazing as my 5 wk trek through India/Tibet years and years ago.

My trip to HK/Shanghai/Beijing/Taiwan in my early 30s was as awesome as backpacking through Italy before college.

I think UP MI is lovely. Reminds me of Positano. Lots of crowds, tightly packed, got the water and boats. The evening lights - beautiful places. I mean - every place has their own delights. How do you compare Sedona to St. Lucia - the pistons and the mountains are both awesome to see. And Costa Rica white water rafting was amazing but so was Snake River in Jackson.

I think you just go where you want to go and see as much as you can and enjoy it all

I can't exactly articulate why this post irks me, but it does.

Maybe it's the airy yet preachy "everyplace has its amazingness you know?" --no sh*t sherlock.
